Testing laboratory for effluent and sludge
Thanks to its integrated laboratory and the expertise of its employees, EMO has a real asset to meet in the best manner the challenges of sludge and effluent treatment. Its laboratory studies industrial effluents and sludge from wastewater treatment plant. Through this upstream study, EMO provides technical solutions adapted to each problem. Involved in the research and writing of programs for effluent and sludge treatment, EMO also actively contributes to the development of new treatment processes
Study of effluent and sludge from wastewater treatment plants
-
Determination of effluent and sludge characteristics
- Sludge analysis: dry matter, organic matter, pH, redox, conductivity…
- Effluent analysis: COD, total nitrogen, total phosphorus…
- Microscopic observation of sludge to identify micro organism and filamentous bacteria
-
Sand classification
- Size particle analysis
-
Identification of the best effluent or sludge conditioning
- Selection of the most suitable coagulant
- Selection of the most suitable flocculant
- Determination optimum flocculants dosages
-
Treatability tests in laboratory
- Settling: study of the settling speed
- Flotation: test of flotation to simulate one flotation unit
- Thickening: thickening cell to simulate one gravity belt thickener
- Dewatering : compression cell to determine recommended dryness of a sludge (simulation of belt filter press, screw press, centrifuge, plate filter press)
- Tertiary filtration
-
On site tests with pilots units
- Pilot of gravity belt thickener
- Pilot of belt filter press
- Pilot of plate filter press
- Pilot of tertiary filtration
EMO: a major player in the development of new standards
Aware of the increasing constraints on industrial and sewage treatment plant operators, EMO focuses on the development of processes and technologies that aim to reduce the volume of sludge and remove it through environmentally friendly means at the lowest possible cost. To this end, EMO is actively involved in standardising the wastewater and sludge treatment.
EMO process managers are regularly contacted by the national and European standardisation committees to take part in working groups that define the new standards concerning the methods of characterization, categorization, preparation, treatment, management and recycling of sludge and waste water collection systems of urban or industrial origin.
Our technical teams is able to carry out on-site expertise upstream as well as an evaluation of the solutions proposed by tests on pilot units to select the optimized treatment and equipment for your application.
